Historic Hall of Fame Billiards in Bay Ridge on market
Cue the end.
One of the oldest pool halls in the city, Bay Ridge’s own Hall of Fame Billiards, is for sale.
The storied pool hall – once Ovington Bowling Lanes – was converted into a 48-table pool hall in 1964 by Albert Balukas, and his business partners (among them, the former owner of the long-gone Leemark Lanes, which shuttered in 2006). The building itself went up in 1930 and today houses pool tables as well as ping-pong set-ups and a small-scale video game arcade in the front of the hall.
